Higher interest rates alongside decades-high inflation in 2022-23 ate away at household purchasing power.

Weaker demand spurred a rise in the unemployment rate of a size that historically only happens in recessions.

Per capita GDP has fallen to 3.1 per cent below 2019 levels.

The economists noted the only thing that prevented negative GDP growth in consecutive quarters – the typical definition of a recession – was a wave of new consumers
